Introduction: Hyponatremia is a commonly associated with atypical pneumonia. One of its pathophysiological mechanisms is inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion(SIADH). We describe the case of a patient presenting an SIADH caused by COVID19 infection.Observation: We report a case of a 70-year-old man, known to have well-controlled hypertension, with a medical history of cavum’s neoplasia treated with radiotherapy and hypothyroidism post thyroid...

Introduction: Adrenal adenomas development has been partially explained by aberrant adrenal expression of some hormone receptors. Klinefelter’s syndrome is a common cause of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, which is characterized by increased serum LH level. In this case, we report a patient with Klinefelter syndrome, who was later diagnosed with a non secreting adrenal adenoma.Case presentation: We report the case of a 57 years old patient, diagnose...

Introduction: Gelastic seizures have been typically described with hypothalamic hamartomas and precocious puberty. Invasive EEG recordings have shown that gelastic seizures originated from the hypothalamic hamartomas, however recent findings have shown that they might also arise from other central lesions, like tumors, malformations of cortical development, postinfectious foci and other hypotalamic or pituitary abnormalities. In this case, we describe a patient with gelastic s...

Introduction: Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by a specific tirade: an absent or hypoplastic anterior pituitary gland, thin or absent infundibulum, and ectopic posterior pituitary location. This syndrome has been described in association with other somatic abnormalities and recently a polygenic etiology has been suggested. Herein, we report a case of type 1 diabetic patient, explored for short stature, revealing a pituitary stalk interrup...

Abstract: Brown tumors also known as osteitis fibrosa are a very rare complications of primary hyperparathyroism that occur in less than 2% of patients suffering from any form of hyperparathyroidism. Parathormone increases osteoclastic activity in the bones causing cystic bony changes, it’s a reparative cellular process. Common sites of brown tumor are the ribs, clavicle, long bones and pelvic girdle. Our case is 55 years old tunisian men who was admitted to orthopedic de...

IntroductionGraves ophthalmopathy (GO) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the orbit which is associated with autoimmune thyroid disease. The medical treatment of severe and sight threatening GO remains a challenge, it generally implies the use of glucocorticoids with others treatments. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a prodrug of mycophenolic acid that prevents T-cell and B-cell proliferation and the production of cytotoxic T-cells and antibodies. ...

IntroductionPrimary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) are rare extranodal lymphomas and account for<1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with characteristic clinical features including high incidence of bilateral involvement, predominantly diffuse large B-cell histology, and low incidence of extra-adrenal disease at diagnosis. We report a case of 50-year-old patient affected by bilateral B-cell adrenal lymphoma.Case presentation<p class="...
